Precision Metrology and Quality Verification Services

The contract requires independent verification of surface finish and dimensional accuracy for fabricated precision apertures, specifically ensuring a 1nm RMS surface finish and compliance with tight dimensional tolerances prior to delivery to SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. This verification must be performed by a qualified third party using calibrated metrology equipment and established industry standards to guarantee the components meet the stringent requirements for use in high-energy physics applications. The work is classified under NAICS code 541380, indicating it involves precision measurement and testing services, and is structured as a subcontract under the Department of Energy’s oversight through its SLAC contractor. The solicitation was posted on April 30, 2026, with a response deadline of May 15, 2026, and performance is expected to occur at a location with ZIP code 94025, which corresponds to the SLAC facility in Menlo Park, California. The contract does not specify set-aside status or point of contact details, but it emphasizes that all verification results must be documented, traceable, and submitted as part of the final acceptance package. Compliance with the specified 1nm RMS surface finish and dimensional accuracy is critical for the functional performance of the apertures within SLAC’s accelerator systems, and failure to meet these standards may result in rejection of the shipment.
